Amazingly though it seems to be slightly better to VPN in. 🤔
But you know speedtest.net I believe is a bit of a liar and I’m quite sure they do something to make sure the speed test come up good even remote areas the real speed test my actual surfer infrastructure is quite piss poor 🤣
Even though we’re quite a ways from any suburban areas, even with the Internet access via cell towers this poor, using my pod is still very snappy. 👌
@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Still a bit different, but this reminds me of the rusk boy on the Brandt boxes which is kinda iconic over here: https://cdn.idealo.com/folder/Product/2151/8/2151814/s1_produktbild_max/brandt-der-markenzwieback-225-g.jpg They should switch to this photo. :-)
@prologic@twtxt.net earlier you suggested extending hashes to 11 characters, but here’s an argument that they should be even longer than that.
Imagine I found this twt one day at https://example.com/twtxt.txt :
2024-09-14T22:00Z Useful backup command: rsync -a “$HOME” /mnt/backup
and I responded with “(#5dgoirqemeq) Thanks for the tip!”. Then I’ve endorsed the twt, but it could latter get changed to
2024-09-14T22:00Z Useful backup command: rm -rf /some_important_directory
which also has an 11-character base32 hash of 5dgoirqemeq. (I’m using the existing hashing method with https://example.com/twtxt.txt as the feed url, but I’m taking 11 characters instead of 7 from the end of the base32 encoding.)
That’s what I meant by “spoofing” in an earlier twt.
I don’t know if preventing this sort of attack should be a goal, but if it is, the number of bits in the hash should be at least two times log2(number of attempts we want to defend against), where the “two times” is because of the birthday paradox.
Side note: current hashes always end with “a” or “q”, which is a bit wasteful. Maybe we should take the first N characters of the base32 encoding instead of the last N.
Code I used for the above example: https://fossil.falsifian.org/misc/file?name=src/twt_collision/find_collision.c
I only needed to compute 43394987 hashes to find it.
And here the Tommos camp with Mum and Dad in the trailor at Myall Lakes.
Boy I could tell you some stories here, like the time we got dozens of spiders all in the tent one night, and the time Dad yelled to Bob to get the red belly black snake that crawled over Brains sleeping bag. Up I jump grab a shovel and cut the head off. silly me !! We camped out with all our partners too.
Karen was treated like family with the 5 siblings and Mum and Dad. It was a great time. Happy camping James on your birthday!
Here is a picture of me aged 1 yr in a bucket at Muttabun Sheep Station, a place near Goodooga in NSW.
And here is James with Emily as a very young boy
Here is a picture of Sunshine House in 1970, I am the tallest one at the back. The house got a new roof and some more bedrooms before you lived here after Belmont Hospital.
Because it needs to be seeing bigger!
Cool sunset when I went to the scouts: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2024-09-13/
Now the wait starts. 😩😂
Out camping with the family this weekend for my birthday 🥳
20° temperature drop in just a hand full of days. Ooof. We went on a stroll at 10°C today. I could have used a beanie, my ears were very cold. The sun was out, but hardly any people. Very nice. Also, no wind.
It was nice to finally hear a few birds singing again, although it was still fairly silent. The sun gave us a nice show. In hindsight, we should have stayed at the summit a bit longer. In the forest, we missed the very best, crazy red sky. We could only see parts shimmering through the tree lines.
Speaking of public transportation, though: If it works, then it’s an amazing system. I love it.
I recently took the time to find an alternative route to one of my doctors. Hardly any people using that route and it’s faster. Absolutely brilliant. It’s like having a chauffeur. 😅
But navigating through that system is also a total nightmare. Which bus takes you to which places at which times, getting info about current construction sites, all that stuff. It takes forever.
And it doesn’t help at all that this is what their website looks like:
https://movq.de/v/acb23dc1c2/s.png
You can’t move that window at the bottom. It just sits there and takes up space from the map. It gets even worse: When you ask for a route, you get to see the buses and individual stops and all that – but all in that little window with that large font! Why do we all have widescreen monitors and than stack UI items vertically?
Sure, 30 years ago it was much worse. But it could also be much better today. 😅
Another idea for the upcoming Advent Of Code 2024:
OS/2 Warp 4 came with Java and that not only meant a runtime but a JDK including API docs. So, for AoC, I could try to solve as many puzzles as I can in that environment, directly on my old Pentium. For later puzzles, I’ll definitely want to switch to my normal workstation for faster development cycles – but I can still use Java and try to backport the solutions.
Sounds interesting. 🤔

It’s one of those days.
@prologic@twtxt.net https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/hashes.png Yep, broken hashes. I just fixed them after refollowing on the new URL (my client doesn’t know metadata fields).
Swa this pop up in my Github news feed today 🤔

This happened yesterday:
The first give away is the sender, sendgrid@autovitalsinc.com. Not Sengrid. Now, check the URL on the link provided to check the account activity:
https://u906946.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=u001.eXk7eIEvNT22LuyWQ0fseoc5VY1jItvxPoavh2wfNVs292YMzvTAPj5D6nek1U6K7UfW_AsM5Hq3TBeAGlZrT-2F3g23iWCcJRPGZ-2B58DJxpgMgOTjgWklNQiAdGiHqmR6FFVhfWZJhnu1PSRslMuKGg1XNZs5e1lGu8kmdKhv7otlghl6qLMXiiXYZcvaUB5NruWwSBFcLdvi31NY-2Fru5oyrcrugm2iLYA0u5TiufyvA7SNTo3sDHx6WtS-2FmfEyN2svb9k1S4QGRFhuDseidMiFm0f9Q-3D-3D
I was curious, so I follow it on my dedicated VM for these kind of things. It took me to a page looking exactly like a Sendgrid login, with a sendgrid.net URL. Upon entering yourmotherisahamster@gmail.com, as username, and yourfathersmellsofelderberries as password, it sent me to https://screenprank.com/gandalf/.
It was well done. This morning the same link renders a blank page with a “Not found” link that takes you to a 404. Hmm…
Weird, this just happened. It went away on page reload.
As a reminder, this is how zoomed in I normally am to read anything at all, Try doing this on the website 🤣
There was a time when WebKit (I think it was WebKit) stored metadata of downloads in extended attributes. Like the URL you were downloading it from.
https://movq.de/v/f79b94485a/s.png
This was really useful. 🤔 Chromium also did it for a while and then they removed it due to privacy concerns. Now none of the popular browsers do it anymore. 🫤
I’m out of shape. I decided to walk up the local mountain to watch the sunset, but I arrived five minutes late, even though I sped up at the end. Should have started my journey ten or fifteen minutes earlier. I saw the setting sun at foot, but the photos were total disasters.
On the way there I picked two handful of blackberries in the forest. Delicious!
Today was the second time in my life that I saw a grass snake in the wild. They can easily be recognized by the yellow “ears”. Unfortunately, this one was run over. :-( But I jumped at the opportunity to photograph it as it didn’t escape in a fraction of a second like my first encounter three years ago. Still, poor fellow. :-(
On the way home, a deer jumped out of the brush in front of me and headed down the forest road before it went back in the other side. As always, that’s nice.
I also had to slow down a bunch of times because of frogs or toads on the paths. Not sure which ones, it was already after dark. I guesstimate it must have been 60-70 amphibians in total, maybe more. Some of them did not move to the wayside but rather into the middle of the track, right in front of me. Crazy suicide frogs! There were four reeeeaaaallly close calls. I could just avoid stepping on them after they tried to hop right under my boot. Not a centimeter to spare. No toads were harmed during my trip. Phew!
Once I had to stop completely because of the large activity ahead of me. A larger (about the size of half a palm) individual surrounded my foot and then jumped against my heel. Twice! What the heck!? :-D But suuuper cool experience. I’m very glad I actually went out. Totally worth it. I met so many amazing animals. Don’t care about the missed sunset a single bit.
Lest we forget Mosaic: https://movq.de/v/f85fd317b3/mosaic.jpg
The potato shed is fully insect proof and the tender leaves are untouched and uneaten by beetles.
Great idea, will we get potatoes and can I grow them all year round… Have to wait and see…. More larger shade houses to build to keep the beetles out.
Temperatures begin to drop a bit for the night, phew. https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2024-08-30/01.jpg

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org @bender@twtxt.net I pushed an alternative implementation to the fetch-context branch. This integrates the whole thing into mutt/jenny.
You will want to configure a new mutt hotkey, similar to the “reply” hotkey:
macro index,pager <esc>C "\
<enter-command> set my_pipe_decode=\$pipe_decode nopipe_decode<Enter>\
<pipe-message> jenny -c<Enter>\
<enter-command> set pipe_decode=\$my_pipe_decode; unset my_pipe_decode<Enter>" \
"Try to fetch context of current twt, like a missing root twt"
This pipes the mail to jenny -c. jenny will try to find the thread hash and the URL and then fetch it. (If there’s no URL or if the specific twt cannot be found in that particular feed, it could query a Yarn pod. That is not yet implemented, though.)
The whole thing looks like this:
https://movq.de/v/0d0e76a180/jenny.mp4
In other words, when there’s a missing root twt, you press a hotkey to fetch it, done.
I think I like this version better. 🤔
(This needs a lot of testing. 😆)
It cooled off to 20°C today, but mid week is supposed to be crazy hot again. It was a nice walk, also plenty of people around, though. So we decided against going up our backyard mountain to avoid the masses. We finally took a path that we haven’t checked out for years. That was pretty cool. I couldn’t remember anything on that.
